There was a feature on this on the BBC just now. Currently it's legal though some places do have their own individual rules against it. I'd have to agree that they should be banned from public places. It's an addiction and by having them on display in public it makes that addiction 'acceptable' when it could easily influence others to take it up, not only that but it could lead onto a lot of people taking up normal smoking as well.
That's not all though. At work we sometimes get a few people [members of the public] walking around smoking e-cigarettes. However, sometimes people take advantage of this and occasionally members of the public have been smoking regular cigarettes indoors and are told to promptly leave. That means that for every person with an e-cig they have to be checked to see that it's actually am e-cig they're smoking and not a real one.
So what are your thoughts? Obviously e-cigarettes harm the health of no-one, but they could lead other people to smoking regular cigarettes and people flouting the rules in other public places, as well as encouraging others to take on unnecessary addictions.
By the way, I smoked for nine years so I'm the worst kind of critic [a reformed smoker]!
